Task 2 - Promotional Material


MStreamIT needs you to help promote the company in order to increase customers.

Adam has bought some advertising space (6cm wide by 12 cm high) in a magazine. He needs to make the best use of this space to encourage people to visit the exhibition stand. He can only afford to advertise in one edition.
  • Create a suitable advert. Adam has provided some text for the advert which he would like you to use.

Adam is also planning to promote the special 'Stream-as-kids-go' top-up card at the exhibition. A parent or guardian must register their details and that of the child/children to ensure that the top-up card can only be used to buy movies with the correct certificate rating. An adult can top up the cards from as little as £5 to £50. With over 50 suitable movies available for instant viewing these cards make a great present.
  • Use the internet to source suitable images for a publicity solution for the 'stream-as-kids-go' top-up card. Record the copyright details of these images so that Adam can request permission to use them.
  • Produce an item of publicity that Adam can use to help launch the 'Stream-as-kids-go' top-up card as well as to promote the company.

Task 3 - Calculating predictions


Adam has provided some data from the first quarter (three months). This shows details of the range of movies which MStreamIT currently has available for the 'Stream-as-kids-go' package and the number o purchases of each movie. Adam has set a target revenue of at least £7,500 per quarter from streaming these movies.

Develop a solution to record:
  • The categories and details of movies that have been streamed
  • movies rated certificate PG
  • the total purchases for each movie
  • the five most popular movies
  • the total purchases for each category in the first quarter
  • the average number of purchases for each category in the first quarter, rounded to the nearest whole number
  • whether or not Adam has achieved his target revenue

Market research has suggested that if you decrease your price by 10% this should lead to an increase in sales of 10%. Analyse if it would be worth Adam considering offering a 10% discount.
